update default mock_NWBFile start time

[stephprince]

Motivation

Fix #2013. There was an error when creating a mock_NWBFile in specific time zones, where converting the default start time to local time would result in a time before the Unix epoch.

The default could also be updated to any later time, I left as 1970 for now in case that is used to indicate this is mock data.

I don't think these changes require a CHANGELOG update but can add if needed.

How to test the behavior?

from pynwb import NWBHDF5IO
from pynwb.testing.mock.file import mock_NWBFile

nwb = mock_NWBFile()

with NWBHDF5IO('test.nwb', mode='w') as io:
    io.write(nwbfile)

Tangential comment that is now its own issue:

Hey guys, slightly related but now that python 3.9 is minimal have you considered using ZoneInfo from the standard library instead of dateutil?

https://docs.python.org/3/library/zoneinfo.html

Eventually you can eliminate another dependency.

@h-mayorquin Good idea but let's open a separate issue for that since it will probably require editing code all over the place

lgtm but I'm also interested in @rly 's take on this
